Magnetics

Magnetics

Our extensive range of magnetic components from world-class manufacturers means you can source, customise, and integrate the optimum component for your application's performance.

Magnetic components are essential in any electronic application and the type used needs to be considered carefully in the early technical design stage. The right magnetic components for power electronics are key to robust, reliable performance. Our industrial magnetics team has a wealth of knowledge and expertise in the function of magnetic components and the materials used to build them. Our unique collaborative approach means we can work with you to help you choose or custom design the best magnetic components for your application.

We partner with innovative, world-leading magnetic component manufacture who have a deep understanding of the latest advancements in magnetic material technology. Our breadth and range of standard components means that we are sure to have the right magnetics solution for your design and application needs, whilst enabling you to maximise cost efficiency. We offer both off-the-shelf and custom design solutions meaning we can address any industrial magnetic technical design challenges. Our Magnetics Products Technology Centre supports you to select the optimum technology, material, and design for your individual application, and to develop bespoke components.

Using experience gained over 40 years in the market, our breadth of knowledge and experience in magnetic engineering and design coupled with our wide range of products means that we have the right technology solution for even the most challenging application design. Our customers come from a wide range of industries including automotive, industrial, medical, aerospace to name a few, meaning that we can help evaluate your needs based on the requirements for each of these unique environmental applications. Our continuous education and training of our engineers extends to our customers, sharing best practices, technical innovation, and thought leadership.

Magnetic cores

Magnetic cores

We offer the broadest range of soft magnetic core materials and shapes across Europe. We understand that various and complex electronic applications require a variety of magnetic components (coil, choke, or transformer) designs, and every good design starts with the appropriate core. The only limit to core technology design options is your imagination and therefore we stock cores of every material and shape. Moreover, due to our partnership with leading core manufacturers, we can develop customised cores in terms of material, shape, size, and volume.

Magnetic components

Whether you need storage chokes, filtering magnetic inductors, or transformers, we can provide you with the best solution. Our technical teams understand that every good design starts with the right core. Not only do we stock standard components of world-leading brands, but we also design and manufacture magnetic components customised to your exact requirements.

Thermal management / EMI shielding

Thermal management / EMI shielding

Electromagnetic interference (EMI) can lead to severe malfunction of electronic devices. International standards define the level of EMI  that each electronic device can generate or should withstand. This effect is typically made of energy (commonly called EMI noise) that is overlapped with the good signal. Our technical team can work with you to advise on the best solution to your design challenge when it comes to EMI RFI shielding and thermal management. We have a broad range of solutions across all the main methods to manage EMI interference.

There are four methodologies to control the generation, propagation, and effect on electronic devices:

  • Magnetics components such as ferrites/nanocrystalline cores applied to cables or PCB nets, Common mode chokes (CMC), differential mode chokes, and filters made of magnetic inductors and capacitors (EMI Filters). These components absorb the unwanted energy and transform it into heat
  • Shielding’s such as metal contact, conductive elastomers, conductive foams, metal foils create a barrier to the diffusion of unwanted energy thus protecting the electronic circuit
  • Absorbers, materials in the form of pads of foams, are able to absorb the unwanted energy thanks to their mechanical/chemical form
  • Thermally conductive products help keep electronics working in the correct way. In fact, one of the effects of an electronic circuit not working correctly is the energy spreading in an uncontrolled way
